The World of Tai Chi and Qigong

Kung Fu Fan is coming along nicely. I imagine all instructors feel a sense of pride and satisfaction when students stick with something they find difficult and then, after months of practice, they experience a sense of accomplishment. #thejoyoflearning #joyoflearning #accomplishment #determined #nevergiveup #nevertooold #nevertoooldtolearn #taichifan #kungfufan

Here’s a lovely article about our philosophy of Breathe. Relax. Enjoy. #peninsulaessence #peninsula #mornington #morningtonpeninsula #mountmartha #mtmartha #trysomethingnew

Yang 108 Long Form - relatively new to the Long Form, this group is beginning to remember the sequence, they are aware of the unique transitions between movements and their confidence is growing. This was a sneaky video I took, not only because I’m so proud of them, but because it’s important for them to realise how far they’ve come.

Our Lotus Flowers Appearing Above the Water are looking very nice indeed! This is part of the Daoyin Yangsheng Gong Shi Er Fa - a very complicated set of 12 movements. #qigong #daoyinyangshenggong #taïchi #mindful #mindfulmovement #balance #breathe #breatheinbreatheout

Tai Chi at State Parliament

Sound on -I love Paul's explanation of why he wanted Tai Chi at State Parliament.

A nice little article about Tai Chi and how we can practice it anywhere, anytime, even while on holidays! Tai Chi is not just about coming to class. It’s about using the principles we learn in day to day interactions. Balancing, yielding, breathing, expanding, contracting, grounding, softening and mindfulness

Angles

We finally nailed our 45 degrees! Turning from one direction to another in 42 Form and Wudang proved problematic so we had a geometry lesson. Black lines indicate the 90/180 and the blue are the 45 degrees. Sometimes visuals are the only way to understand a concept. #taichi #taichiskills #taichimaster #angles #45degrees #geometrylesson #mathsiseverywhere

Corporate Session

Today I had the honour of introducing Qigong and Tai Chi to a corporate group. Kept it simple but challenging with a 3 posture combination. They soon realised how practising Tai Chi can help improve balance, coordination and memory! The video is so they can practice at home. I love teaching beginners. There’s so much to explore. ❤️#taichi #taichichuan #movingmeditation #qigong #qigongpractice #standingmeditation #lovewhatyoudo #shibashi #selfcare #selfcarematters

Rooster Crowing in the Morning Mist! This was so much fun, with kangaroos and ducks in the background. It was a magical experience.

At Seawinds, Arthurs Seat. What a pleasure to be able to practice Qigong in such beautiful surroundings.
